However, it wasn’t until the late 19th century that manganese began to be used in a significant way in the U.S. glass industry. The use of manganese as a decolorizing agent in glassmaking was particularly important to the development of the American glass industry, as it allowed for the production of clear, high-quality glass products. Manganese was also used in the production of steel and other industrial applications, which increased the demand for the mineral. Today, the U.S. is one of the world’s largest producers of manganese, and the mineral continues to be an important component of the American economy. The glowing effect of certain types of glass under UV light is due to the presence of trace amounts of minerals, including manganese. When exposed to UV light, these minerals can cause the glass to fluoresce, producing a characteristic glow that can be quite striking. This effect is often seen in antique or vintage glassware, as well as in certain types of contemporary glass art. Interestingly, the degree of fluorescence can also be influenced by factors such as the composition of the glass and the intensity and wavelength of the UV light used. Overall, the glowing effect of certain types of glass under UV light is an intriguing and visually interesting phenomenon that has fascinated scientists, artists, and collectors alike. 💜 We purchase our items from private collections, estate sales, flea markets, swap meets and of course antique shops!
